This place was fantastic. I especially want to thank Julie and her super generous dedicated trainers/"students" (hard to call them students...they looked like trainers with their well behaved dogs!) who stayed late to help get my ol' girl Magz tested as a Good Canine Citizen. Magz has advanced arthritis...rescued her from Class Canines at the Austin Animal Center at age 10. At age almost 14, she has very bad elbows and hips. Julie went beyond the call of duty to proactivity inquire about testing options approved by the AKC for senior dogs who have slow and limited mobility. Most facilities would have taken my money over and over again to train a dog who finds it hard to get into certain positions. But not this school...they immediately asked if I wanted to try the test and I was delighted. Magz passed with flying colors. (She followed directions better than me. LOL.) Thank you Julie and your dedicated students! Magz gives you four paws up!

Took my 10 month old Cavalier King Charles for his first grooming appointment, and the staff did a fantastic job! I asked for a trim to even out his long and unruly coat. The entire process (from drop off to pick-up) took around 2 hours. He came home looking and feeling great, and the staff were super friendly as well!

I recently took Julie's basic obedience class. She is fantastic. It has greatly enhanced the bond between my dog and I. I must share that at a dog show in Midland TX my dog somehow slipped his lead. He is an easily spooked dog and we were in the parking lot with lots of noise and miles of desert he could have run off into. I called him to come to me and he did. I credit this to Julie and her instruction. Thank you Austin Canine Central

I see a lot of people enjoy this training center. I did not. I was scolded in my second class for not being able to do the exercises the trainer was trying to teach me Andy dog. It was a very negative environment and I almost walked out I was so upset. I know others on the class were very aware of it as well. A learning environment should be positive. Not sure was I was berated and others were not! Trying to find another training school in town. There are many!

The owners and staff always take very good care of our senior dog. They go out if their way to make sure they are comfortable and oftentimes, they appointments are done in an hour or less! They operate with integrity. Offering doggie daycare, training and grooming for all doggos. Highly recommend! Wait times are a bit more lengthy due to Covid Best Practices so be a bit flexible. Even if my dog has an appointment at 10Am, they still allow me to drop him off as early as 7 or 8am. I would've taken a better picture of my buddy, but he doesn't like his picture taken. They are the only groomers he is okay going to

ACC is wonderful! I took the 8 week basic obedience class with Julie Bailey and cannot recommend her classes enough! Her knowledge of animal behavior is spot-on, she gives individualized guidance throughout her classes and the results of her lessons are invaluable!

The basic obedience training class was absolutely excellent. My 8-month old puppy is high energy and she absolutely loved the instructor, Julie. She is so much calmer and well-behaved since taking the class. We will be continuing with the Beyond Basic class and taking the Canine Good Citizen exam at Austin Canine Central with Julie. This class was the best dog training I have ever participated in. Julie took a personal interest in each and every one of the dogs in the class and provided individualized guidance when class members asked questions that were particular to their dog. I was in the same class as Layne H., and was even right next to he and his dog in the class, and I truly have no clue where his negative review came from. He said his dog had issues with women, though maybe it's not the dog? I highly recommend Austin Canine Central.

I take my dog here for grooming, daycare and training and I am always happy with the results. My dog loves daycare and is always excited to go in the mornings. He's a very hyper puppy and it is really helpful for getting his energy out. The training is incredible. I am in the basic obedience class and the improvements that my dog has made in such a short time are amazing. The instructions are so thoughtful and based in how dogs learn and understand, that it makes it natural and easy for them to learn the behaviors. It asks more of you than a quick training would but the results are well worth the hard work! I plan on taking my dog to the next level of training here and I am so excited to see all of his progress!

I was not overly happy with the training I received. It was an 8-week basic obedience course and because the instructor was so rude during my time there, I never went back after 4 of the 8 classes. I sent an email to ACC letting them know I was not going to be coming back and only received an email back saying, "Sorry it didn't work out". They didn't even want to know why. I would recommend looking elsewhere for training.

This place rocks! The owner Richard, and staff were so helpful trying to get me in for my dog's nail trim. Maddie was so accommodating and helped me trim my 16 year old chihuahua's tiny nails. They got me in right away and got to work. So sweet. They clipped and grinded his nails down and they are now back to normal. Highly recommended any dogs that are anxious! Thanks again.

We love Austin Canine Central. Both of our doodles go there for grooming and they always come out looking great. One of our dogs is a hyper monster and I don't know how they deal with her so well. As long as they will take us we will keep going back!

I can’t say enough great things about Sierra for grooming. She’s professional, helpful, incredibly skilled, and patient with my squirmy doodle pupper, Jaya! We’ve had some challenging experiences elsewhere, and are thrilled to have found her!

Please go to Yelp first before purchasing anything! Thankfully yelp had a coupon and we were able to save on our dogs training. The host was very kind and accommodating to get us into October and November trainings. Our bully mix is only seven months old and she was the youngest in the class. We chose to get our pepper some training because dogs that look like pit bulls have bad stereotypes and our pup is the sweetest and this training really helped bring out the beautiful side of our pepper. From 7 PM to 8 PM the trainer explains each rule and expectation for everyone. She gave really good suggestions and commendation when our puppy was doing good. Because our puppy is so young and looks like a pitbull we felt a little defeated in the beginning but slowly warmed up and everyone in the class was like a small family it was cute. I would strongly suggest you take your puppy to this class or a class similar so asked to have a good relationship with your dog and be able to take him or her with you anywhere and not be afraid or concerned. The space was huge and inside so we weren't having to cross contaminate anyone or anything. Masks were required at all time. It was more of a work out for me and my husband and it was for my puppy who enjoyed every moment. Thank you Austin canine central

We all love Canine Central and our dog has gone to daycare there for 2.5 years. Please consider donating the daily fee or whatever you can directly to Austin Canine Central! They are an important resource for us and the community. Any amount would help them overcome these challenging times.
